Which side of the plane to sit from Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani) to Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport (Perugia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers an exceptional view of the medieval hilltop town of Erice during takeoff and a breathtaking aerial perspective of the green heart of Italy, including the rolling hills of Umbria and the city of Assisi during the final approach.
Erice
The iconic triangular-shaped medieval town situated 750 meters above sea level, providing a stunning landmark right after takeoff.
Gulf of Castellammare
The dramatic northern Sicilian coastline with its rugged cliffs and the Zingaro Nature Reserve visible in the distance.
Rome Surroundings
Distant views of the Roman Campagna and the outer suburbs of the Eternal City as the flight bypasses Rome to the east.
Umbrian Hills
The classic patchwork of olive groves, vineyards, and cypress-lined roads that define the central Italian landscape.
Assisi
The magnificent Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi is frequently visible on the hillside just before touchdown at PEG.
The right side is highly recommended for geographic variety. To capture the best photos of Erice, be ready within the first 3 minutes of flight. As the plane descends into the Tiber Valley, look for the stone architecture of Perugia's historic center. Evening flights on this side enjoy the 'golden hour' light reflecting off the Umbrian stone buildings.
Aegadian Islands
Clear views of Favignana and Levanzo floating in the turquoise waters off the coast of Trapani shortly after departure.
Tyrrhenian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water with the potential to spot cargo ships and ferries traversing the Mediterranean trade routes.
Lazio Coastline
The sandy beaches and coastal towns near Civitavecchia are often visible as the flight begins its turn toward the interior of the peninsula.
Western Horizon
On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare while looking at the Sicilian coast. It is also the better side for viewing the Egadi archipelago during the initial climb. During the descent, keep an eye out for Lake Bracciano in the distance as you cross into the Lazio region.
